Examples
1
Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column.
Convert this width from picas to Kens.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to kens is:
Length(Kens) = Length(Pica) / 500.4000000472818
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Kens) = 12 / 500.4000000472818
Length(Kens) = 0.0239808153454559
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 0.0239808153454559 ken.
The length is 0.0239808153454559 ken, in kens.
2
Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long.
Convert this length from picas to Kens.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to kens is:
Length(Kens) = Length(Pica) / 500.4000000472818
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.
Length(Kens) = 6 / 500.4000000472818
Length(Kens) = 0.011990407672728
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 0.011990407672728 ken.
The length is 0.011990407672728 ken, in kens.
